The Oregon Ducks are getting a bye week at the right time, coming off an emotional win over USC that saw the Ducks lose quarterback Dante Moore in the process. Now afforded a week to regroup and allow Dylan Raiola to take starting reps in practice, the Ducks can turn their attention to another high-powered offense coming to Autzen Stadium.
Oregon will host its first Big Ten game of the year on Saturday, Oct. 10, when the UCLA Bruins roll into Eugene with a perfect 4-0 record under new head coach Bob Chesney. The Week 6 matchup is set and will be in another prime viewing spot, with kickoff set for 12:30 p.m. PT and televised on CBS.
UCLA is heading into the bye week after stomping Maryland 54-3 on the road this past weekend. The Bruins entered
the AP Poll rankings this week at No. 23, so it will be a top-25 showdown in Autzen Stadium.

Chesney made the trip to Eugene last December for the first round of the College Football Playoff while leading James Madison, and although the Ducks won comfortably, the Dukes had plenty of offense. The scoring potential of Chesney's offense has carried over to Los Angeles, as the Bruins are averaging 44.8 points per game this season.
Oregon is always ready to make a fashion statement, and the Ducks have teased a new set of uniforms that will be worn during the game. If Moore is unable to play as he recovers from a concussion, it will be Raiola who slips into the uniform and leads the Oregon offense in a game that could promise plenty of points once again.
